Game of the week: AS Monaco v Lille OSC, Sunday 20:00 (UK)
With just two gameweeks remaining, the race for European football is heating up. A recent drop in form leaves AS Monaco on the back foot. Having taken just two points from matches against AJ Auxerre, Paris FC, and Toulouse FC, Sébastien Pocognoli’s side at least got back to winning ways against FC Metz, even if it wasn’t convincing and victory was only secured in the dying moments. Motivation against some of the so-called smaller sides has been a long-running issue for Monaco; against bigger opponents, those also competing for European football, performances have been much better. Lille OSC, who need a win to keep in contact with Olympique Lyonnais going into the final gameweek, will rightly be wary.
